S class ferry

S class ferry

The Spirit Class Ferries, S-Class Ferries, or Super ferries are the largest ferries in the BC Ferries Fleet.

There are two Spirit Class Ferries—The "Spirit of British Columbia" (built 1993) and the "Spirit of Vancouver Island" (built 1994). These two ferries were built in separate parts by a variety of different shipbuilders in British Columbia, and they were fully assembled in North Vancouver.

The vessels are largely the same in layout and characteristics. The "Spirit of British Columbia" underwent extensive internal renovations in 2005. In January 2006, similar renovations on the "Spirit of Vancouver Island" were completed.

These vessels operate exclusively on the Highway 17 (Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen) route. The "Spirit of British Columbia" is based at Tsawwassen, while the "Spirit of Vancouver Island" is based at Swartz Bay.
